[CP2K:10240] Re: rewrite cp2k cube file for Henkelman's code

The code is

         IF (dft_control%qs_control%gapw) THEN
            CALL pw_transfer(rho0_s_gs%pw, wf_r%pw)
            IF (dft_control%qs_control%gapw_control%nopaw_as_gpw) THEN
               CALL pw_axpy(rho_core%pw, wf_r%pw)
            END IF
         ELSE
            CALL pw_transfer(rho_core%pw, wf_r%pw)
         END IF


So for GPW it will add in a Gaussian charge with value +Zeffective centred 
on the atoms the same as is done when calculating electrostatics (see 
original paper).

It is quite possible to post process the results of a trajectory to add in 
an atom centred density.
